Heritage Week: "The Darkness Echoing", talk by author Gillian O'Brien
It’s no secret that the Irish are obsessed with misery, suffering and death. And no wonder, for there is darkness everywhere you look, in cemeteries and castles, monuments and museums, stories and song. Beginning with a virtual ramble around some fascinating locations in Kildare, this talk will take the audience on a tour of some of Ireland’s most intriguing dark tourist sites. Alongside some tales of ghosts, wakes and accidental imprisonment, the talk will challenge some old tropes about Irish history and question what we really know about our own past and what impact that has on our present and future.
